.NET Standard 2.0 Xamarin.iOS project VSTS build issue

Currently I'm trying to upgrade a Xamarin.Forms project to use .NET Standard 2.0. This went fine for Android but I'm getting stuck with the iOS version. To build iOS we use a On-Primise MacMini as build agent int VSTS. Now I'm getting the error below when building the solution.

=================================

.... way more erros like below ...

=================================

This output comes from the following build definition:

Now I've searched the internet and found a view possible solutions:

But all of this was not enough to fix the issue. Now I'm not a expert in using a Mac. Actually I never touched one before this issue... So I might have done something wrong here...

But I've been able to get some version information about all products on the MacMini:

=================================

The project can be build on the MacMini itself. Only the VSTS task keeps failing...

Does someone have any idea's left which can help me solve my issue?

Kind regards, Jop

Everything started to work fine after we manually edited the .NET Standard 2.0 project file (*.csproj) and add a PackageReference by hand. 

<ItemGroup>
  ...
  <PackageReference Include="NETStandard.Library" version="2.0.0" />
  ...
</ItemGroup>
